WhatsApp group admin can't be held vicariously liable for members' posts: Madras High Court https://www.barandbench.com/news/litigation/whatsapp-group-admin-cannot-vicariously-liable-posts-members-madras 27 Dec, 2021 
The Court reaffirmed the Bombay High Court’s view that the creator of a WhatsApp group cannot be expected to presume or have advance knowledge of the members’ criminal acts. “a group administrator cannot be held vicariously liable for an act of member of the group, who posts objectionable content, unless it is shown that there was common intention or pre-arranged plan acting in concert pursuant to such plan by such member of a Whatsapp group and the administrator.”
